List Mgmt. 2014 possible delistings

[Tyls83]

We need someone of Reillys size IE 184cm plus to help out down back, so mobile & able to play on mid sized forwards.

 

[AFC979810]

Hypothetically - If we don't acquire any players in FA and do zero trades then how many players need to be delisted / retired to make way for new draftees?

Assuming that Battersby / Cameron will take Rutten/Porplyzia's spots on the main list - how many do we need to delist to make way for draftees?

Would try him out as a small defender, but I fear he'd crap his pants at the worst moments though. Still, wouldn't be the worst idea since Brown isn't overly quick. It's surprising they haven't tried it though since he's not getting another look in up forward while Betts is there and they obviously have rated Cameron above him already.

Laird is on the cusp of getting sent to the 2's and he'd surely be ahead of pets for a small back role. I've been a fan of pets getting another chance in his natural position, but can't see it happening now, especially with jaensch seemingly locked into the role.

Could you imagine it, petrenko last line of defence, gets the ball, forced onto his left and tries to kick it on the outside of his right boot........

As opposed to d rock when he goes back that deep to help out.

Hasn't Laird been dropped for Sunday?

Goldsack

 

[StonesThrow]

Delistings have been made hard due to draft sanctions.

Normally smack, LJ, Thompson and Graham would be delisted but I don't think we can afford to get rid of two rucks and two KP players. Even if they are average.

Highly dependent on trade week and FA this year.

I haven't seen the final side. I thought he was on the extended bench.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

IMO the key area of focus over the summer is our defence, we need to build from down back to take us forward

IMO both Talia and Brown are the only locks for our defence for next season with my preference to play Smith up the field however with a door pre-season I also see Hendo and Laird having first crack down back

This leaves Otten, Shaw, Radar and Jaensch on the trade table but only if we can secure quality defenders from elsewhere

I know many may not agree with this but IMO we need to get back to developing a real stingy defence and Talia, Brown and Laird will be a good start but we also need to add to this whilst removing the make-shift defenders like Matty J

Agree 100% on jaensch. On current form I'd give him a go on d rocks wing and return laird into the back 6.

Minimum of one then.

Agree

Matty j in my side plays either Wing or as a high HF

If we didn't trade out any players, I'd expect 4 or 5 delistings with 2 or 3 picks and 1 or 2 rookie upgrades then a pick or 2 from the rookie draft.

 

[Mattrox]

I could also see Siggins delisted and re-rookied.

 

[Bay62]

He's definitely out. One of the emergencies

 

[jackster83]

Jake Kelly?

Gwilt as an Unrestricted Free Agent would also be handy. Turns 28 on Monday but I don't think he'd cost the earth.

 

[1990crow]

Tough one for delistings this year.
Those gone already for mine: Rutten, Porplyzia, Graham
Those I think we should let go: Reilly, Johnston, Petrenko
Depends on whether we are getting a free agent with Reilly and the possible upgrades and draft strategies though. Cameron would be one upgrade, not sure there will be any others but Kelly, Battersby and Spina have all been very good in the SANFL.

 

[Bailey01]

Aside from your horrid spelling which makes me think you arent a true supporter.
Why are you delisting Big Oz?

Give him a break, he is 12 lol

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Otten's injury probably ensures l Thompson getting a new deal.

 

[crow4life]

Otten's injury probably ensures l Thompson getting a new deal.

Exactly what I was thinking too.
Might also mean we will have a serious look at Tyson Goldsack.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Otten's injury probably ensures l Thompson getting a new deal.

That is assuming L Thompson wants to stay

 

[WaynesWorld19]

We need someone of Reillys size IE 184cm plus to help out down back, so mobile & able to play on mid sized forwards.

here's a thought ..../.how about Reilly??

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Goldsack

Love Goldsack .......but unless it's a structural need, i say develop your own

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Otten's injury probably ensures l Thompson getting a new deal.

.......you may be right though

Smith Mk2

 

[WaynesWorld19]

That is assuming L Thompson wants to stay

Please ....we can only hope some other club is stupid enough to want Thompson
